[CASE STUDY] Rankuply.com Scrapebox Service - 3 months

[ExtremeSEO]

I use it on the reports that allow me to copy the links. Some reports are in PDF while others are in TXT. Not sure why they are inconsistent.

We were sending PDF's, but many of our customers have started to request the reports in .TXT

This is the reason for the change

Also, you'll notice a nice little change (or huge change rather) to your dashboard

Ranking Report
Electric Cigarette - [Google: #168 (-3)] [Bing: #14]
Electronic Cigarette - [Google: #181 (-5)] [Bing: Not in top 100]
E-Cig - [Google: #147 (-1)] [Bing: #12]
E-Cigarette - [Google: Not in top 500] [Bing: Not in top 100]

All drops today, but what can you expect? It's only been a week and Google isn't used to my site having 3000 links blasted at it per day. 3 months time will tell.

Also, as ExtremeSEO mentioned above, I saw some huge changes to the control panel today. Really, it consists of two major updates.

One is that they are integrating Google Analytics into the dashboard so you can easily track new/returning visits in a very nice looking graph.

The second is keyword ranking tracking, which tracks your position in both Google and Bing for your chosen keywords. Of course, since Bing and Yahoo have nearly identical results, your Bing position will about match your Yahoo position, if you didn't already know that... Anyway, this is a handy feature, though I'm not sure of its accuracy yet (I'd say it's within 5-6 positions, but one of my keywords says "n/a" when it's within the top 200). So, I've included my Bing rankings above.

I like how this service is in constant development and reacts to the needs and wants of the customer. However, what really matters as far as an SEO service goes, no matter how pretty you make it look, is the results, so hopefully at the end of this case study, we will have a positive idea of how effective this service is.

Analytics Updated
Like I said, Google Analytics will be updated weekly. Today's was uploaded comparing the past week to the week before. Again, it's located at:

Thanks for the kind words Artizhay

NA just means that it wasn't ranked at the time of the rank update.

Your keywords are going to fluctuate over the next 2 weeks or so, and then suddenly jump around week 3 and then be on the move. This is why we set up our packages for 1-month.

Also...something you forgot to mention were "Members"....allowing additional team members to view your dashboard and track results with collaboration.

Any news Artizhay? I'm really interested in Rankuply service results

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm on vacation in Colorado until Saturday. However, rankings are down from the last update.

 

[ExtremeSEO]

Yeah, we have seen a ton of activity on your keywords. As of right now, I am showing a change of +470 of your combined keywords from last week.

...with a +210 combined change average for our customers this week.

Thanks for this "case study"....I just found rankuply when I did a big G search for xrumer blast and was curious if they were legit or not.

My two cents on what others have asked/said

1. Linkilicious never increased my serp rankings (tracked with SEScout)
2. I dropped SEScout last month and bought RankTracker b/c SES was so dam buggy and inconsistent

Interesting case study.. I'm thinking you should see upward movement by the beginning / middle of the second month.

I'll be following this thread as well. I couldn't exactly remember how I found out about "rankuply" but I was certainly impressed with its design and user interface. ExtremeSEO did a great job, obviously.

I got a blast and the service sound good actually.
But after I
1. removed duplicate URLs + Domains
2. checked against my URL
3. and checked outbount link count

I was left with ~900 pieces, where as 70% is +200 OBL links to <10.000+

So, an automatic Scrapebox solution? More like, but definitely not something extremely new.

Some sort of SB-Dripable version, which could be used for auto-backlinking web 2.0 properties, profiles, etc.

So you're saying that after you remove duplicates (#1), and after you look at pages that don't really have your URL on it (#2) there was only 900 domains?

You ended up with 900 unique domain backlinks from having purchased what plan? (the 3k or the 5k one)?

Do you think you actually might have more than 900 unique domain backlinks because when outbound links are large on a page, it pushes comments to a "page 2" that you're not checking to see if your link is on pages other than the original URL posted to?

And can anyone tell me how good their reports are?

-------------------------

Update, just had a chat with their customer service (which is good at 4:46am EST you actually have someone live to chat with). Their 5k per day plan would give you about 150k backlinks a month. I was trying to ask the operator if I could expect that to be 1500 links per domain on 1k domains, 750 links per domain on 2k domains, or 150 links per domain on 10k domains ... I couldn't really get a straight answer out of the guy (though was helpful on other questions).

It's not that too many duplicate domains would be a bad thing ... just means you need to backlink a larger amount of domains (I don't particularly see a need to link to a domain more than 100 times from one website). But if you promote 10 domains and end up with 10 backlinks each a day from each of their domains, that's not so bad.

In any case they have a $1 trial for a week ($1 for 1k backlinks a day is pretty good) ... the guy said you can cancel it immediately and still have your trial active.

We do have a trial plan for you to answer that question yourself.

Seems like the service being provided is good, I will be checking it out shortly - but please just buy a BST thread because if we need support here on the forums for whatever reason, etc it would suck if mods temp. banned you guys again. It's not much anyway. Will check out the site soon

 

[krzysiekz]

just put an order through. Won't be spamming my money site with it, though. Feed the tier 1 and tier 2 etc links!

Exactly....enough with the sales questions/statements (we don't like getting banned..so help us not to!).

We will be opening up a BST thread after the launch of our Rankbox WP Plugin....so maybe a week or 2

Hi Extreme, no immediate rush - but do you know how long it usually takes for accounts to become active and have the email sent?
